So I've been catching up on all the latest accumulation of Washington wisdom — or, at least, all the wisdom that I can accumulate in a Twitter feed — and now I totally get why no one other than Rand Paul or Ted Cruz or the reincarnated Pat Buchanan can possibly win the Republican nomination in 2016. (Actually, Pat's alive and well — it's just that he's on the McLaughlin Group. My bad.)
You see, the party's base voters — the ones who turn out to vote in primaries and caucuses — are too completely off the rails to nominate a mushball like Jeb Bush or Chris Christie! Get real — those guys can't make it through the primaries talking about immigration reform and bipartisanship and blah-blah-blabbedy-blah. They'd get dismantled in the early states, just like that "maverick" John McCain and that liberal Mitt Romney!
Oh. Hang on.
Here's what some commentators and conservative bloggers seem to be forgetting: Old-line, establishment Republicans have managed to wrest the nomination in every election since Ronald Reagan left office, and there's really no reason to think it's any less plausible in 2016. In fact, if a Bush or a Christie decides to go all in, the smart move probably isn't to be more doctrinaire, but actually less so....

Jeb Bush, forcing Conservatives to vote FOR DemocRATS !
NO MORE RINOs !
It's time we Conservatives changed our strategy.
These RINOs WILL NOT LEAD,and they WILL NOT FOLLOW (except they WILL follow DemocRATs), and they sure as HELL WILL NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY.
SO,
THEY MUST BE REMOVED FIRST, or else we'll just keep getting Marxists/Fascists LIGHT.
We can start by getting more people to CLEAN OUR OWN PARTY.
Vote AGAINST an "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" every time you get an opportunity to, and that INCLUDES the GENERAL ELECTION.
Throw them out!
And keep throwing them out!
And NEVER let an
"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" win.
Then, in the long run, they'll WAKE UP and ONLY run Conservatives!
The
"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" will NOT get the message
unless THAD COCKROACH LOSES!
It is VITAL that Thad is removed, or the RINOs will do it again, and they may do it again, anyway.
REMEMBER
MISSISSIPPI
I'll take out (vote AGAINST) an
"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" every time I get an opportunity to, and that INCLUDES the GENERAL ELECTION.
"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS"SHALL NOT PASS !
It's SIMPLE.
Vote AGAINST "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" !Vote FOR REAL CONSERVATIVE "Tea Party Candidates" !

The same jackass Idiots who gave us John McCain and Mitt Romney are singing their Siren Songs again.
Put your hands over your ears and run away.
All they have to sell is defeat!

Hey Jeb, why don’t you just go be a fag somewhere else?
That conservatives hate you so much should tell you everything you need to know about your chances. We will do everything we can to stop you cold.

Mark my words: If Jeb Bush is the 2016 Republican Presidential Nominee, I’m voting for Hillary. I don’t think Juan Bush will get the nomination, but if he does, 2016 will be such a blood bath for Republicans that the party’s performance in 2008 will look good by comparison. I’m ABSOLUTELY DONE with the GOP elite. and will anyone they support./rwa

I say let Jeb run. He’s a better Democrat than Hillary. Maybe he can knock her out before he fades after the first GOP debate. :-)

Who says a lot of stuff, and sometimes he is right.
The only upside of Jeb being president would watching Nancy Pelosii’s head explode. And beating Hillary Clinton.
